Valladolid
Diego Cocca's side continues to anchor the bottom of the La Liga table. They are already 8 points behind the safe 17th place. Additionally, Valladolid remains the worst in defense, having conceded 48 goals. The club's performance has significantly worsened after a series of four defeats in the championship, including a 0-3 thrashing at home by Real Madrid and three more losses on the road.
Forward Marcos Andre will miss the game due to an accumulation of yellow cards, and defender Cenk Ozkacar is out due to injury.

Sevilla went four consecutive matches unbeaten in La Liga, drawing three times and defeating Girona 2-1. Their best unbeaten run in this La Liga season ended in the last round, where they were defeated 1-4 at home by Barcelona. The team is currently 13th in the standings, six points clear of the relegation zone.

Valladolid vs. Sevilla: Match Prediction
The first-round encounter between these opponents ended with a 2-1 victory for Sevilla. It's likely that this game will also see three or more goals. Valladolid is the worst defensive team in the current La Liga, conceding at least two goals on average per match. Meanwhile, Sevilla's defensive actions have not been impressive either, allowing 1.5 goals.
With some caution, I suggest that there will be at least two goals in the match. Such scoring was seen in 6 of Valladolid's last 8 home La Liga matches, as well as in 12 of Sevilla's last 15 away games in the league. Additionally, two or more goals have been scored in 11 of the last 13 head-to-head meetings in La Liga.
My prediction – Total over 2 goals
